This is a conversation that challenges how we understand power, money, and control—not just in today’s headlines, but across centuries of history. In this interview, Kathleen Marquardt of the American Policy Center sits down with Lt. Robert Powell, a Coast Guard veteran, to walk through what they describe as a longstanding system of global economic influence—one they argue has shaped nations, institutions, and even the way Americans experience governance today.

From the rise of centralized banking in London to the creation of modern financial systems, Powell lays out a timeline connecting historical events to present-day policies, digital currency concerns, and shifting power structures. The discussion touches on topics like administrative law, global organizations, economic control, and the role of political leadership in challenging or reinforcing these systems.

Whether you agree or disagree with the conclusions, this interview is designed to provoke thought, raise questions, and encourage deeper investigation into how financial power and governance intersect—and what that could mean moving forward.
